{{Main|Brothers in Arms (video game series)}}
During their fourth year, Gearbox began working on their first independently owned game: ''[[Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30]]''. Developed for [[Personal computer|PC]] and Microsoft's [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] console, and built with the [[Unreal Engine 2]], it was released in March 2005. The sequel, ''[[Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood]]'', followed seven months later. The series was published by [[Ubisoft]], who supported both games with [[PlayStation 2]] versions, and later worked with them to develop ''Brothers in Arms'' games for portable systems ([[mobile phone]]s, [[PlayStation Portable]] and [[Nintendo DS]]) and the [[Wii]] home console.

In 2005, Gearbox licensed the [[Unreal Engine 3]] from [[Epic Games]], to replace the Unreal Engine 2 technology used in previous games, and grew its internal development teams to handle the demands of next-generation technology and content.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/gearbox-software-licenses-unreal-engine-3 |title=Gearbox Software licenses Unreal Engine 3 |website=gamesindustry.biz |date=September 23, 2005 |access-date=October 22, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161023061512/http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/gearbox-software-licenses-unreal-engine-3 |archive-date=October 23, 2016}}</ref> ''[[Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway]]'' was the first new title to be announced, continuing the company's flagship franchise.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/press_release/brothers-in-arms-hells-highway-announced/ |title=Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway Announced |publisher=Gearbox Software, LLC. |access-date=October 22, 2016 |date=April 12, 2006 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161023132921/http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/press_release/brothers-in-arms-hells-highway-announced/ |archive-date=October 23, 2016}}</ref>
